Appropriation In Art
It is hard to nail down a fully accurate, and all-encompassing, definition of postmodernism. However, one characteristic that is often associated with Postmodern art is the use of appropriation. Write a short essay discussing the use of appropriation in a specific work of art. It can be a film, a comic book, a song, a painting, a sculpture, or any other creative endeavor. Be sure to discuss: what is being appropriated was it from another creative piece? It is a found object something that was already produced but is now being incorporated into a new work by someone who had not created the original thing? Is just an idea or concept? What could be the meaning of this appropriation? What added message or concept is brought into play by doing this?
